If you are new to Yanbu, I will be glad to help you settled

Hi Ahmed

I had PMed you. I should be moving to Yanbu by December. Would like to know about housing in Yanbu Al Bahr. Do you have an idea of rental in Arabian homes compound. Searched this forum and googled too but to no effect.

Also do you have any idea about good Indian school in the town. From Google could find about Al Manar and radhwa. Anymore info about school, admission and fees could be of great help.

@billu
life in Arbian homes is very expensive, you will pay something around SR 120K/year for a two bed rooms flat( this is the last number i know since 1-2 years) better to stay in the groups( we call it G or jeem as it is pronounced in Arabic, like Jeem 16,17,....)
you can get a very nice two bed rooms flat( with really big rooms) around SR 16K, if you searched more you can get even cheaper.

@ Sathappan
I am not sure about the Indian schools but I know that Marafiq pay the schooling for the kids, if you will stay in the Royal commission area in Marafiq housing, there Radhwa international school which has both Indian an american section. you can find more details in the below link

I heard that the Indian section for KGs costs about SR 4-5K but this needs to be verified

@Sayed

r u living in Yanbu?

Sir, Are u sure about marafiq pays for preschool or KG sections too as my daughter age is 3.11 years old. She will have to undergo those sections.And i will have to search house outside RC

I know about school but Preschools & KGs, I am not sure, you can just check with your HR department( most of the companies doesn't pay the preschool but the pay the KGS)

Schooling in Yanbu is getting worse now a days, A good School already closed called YIS lot of family moved to Jeddah for sack of schooling only

Hi Ahmed,
I know this is an old forum but I was wondering if you are still in Yanbu or have contacts there. I am moving there next week. Thank you!
